Independent hotels in Agios Vasileios, Crete

"Clean room and excellent breakfast!! Exceptional staff!"

"Staff was great we enjoyed the food I think the main draw back was it’s a very popular spot on hot days and there isn’t designated parking for people staying at the resort, so sometimes when we would come back it was really hard to find a parking spot"

"Loved the hotel. The food was amazing. The staff were extra nice & made you feel very welcome. It was a delightful stay in Plakias"

"Fantastic property and beautiful location. The property was just as described, beautiful quiet location close by the lovey town of Plakias. We had an amazing holiday, pool area at the villa was perfect and the local beaches offered us lots of choice. The area of Plakias is very quiet but the local town offered lots of restaurants, bars and shops. Beaches were clean, sea was great for swimming and they were not overly busy even during school holiday season. The Villas had everything we needed and the connecting balconies made it easy to move between the two properties. The drive from the airport takes you though beautiful mountain regions. We loved being away from the busier tourist areas of the North. We did 1 day trip to a Waterpark which took us 1.5 hrs to drive to. Overall the longer drive time was well worth it for the quieter and less touristy area we were in.All my interactions with the property team were great, they were very helpful and always available if we had questions. The housekeeping ladies were all very friendly and we really appreciated the extra personalised touches. We will definitely return!"

"Wonderful stay. The host was great. Quick to reply to messages and very knowledgeable about the area. The house was great. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool isn’t massive but was plenty big enough to cool down and the children loved playing in it. The area is stunning. Amazing views and a number of great beaches within a short drive. We were treated to a hot mousaka on our arrival and the kitchen was brilliantly stocked with wine and treats and home made cheese. On one of the days we got a tour of the farm and a the kids got to ride a horse. We felt very looked after. Brilliant place if your looking for a quite stay in the awe inspiring Crete mountains. "

"Staff is ok. Rooms could be better, but totally acceptable for the price. Shower could use a door so the floor isnt flooded"

"Mikanos was an extremely friendly and engaging host. The breakfast was outstanding. The location is perfect i.e. about 2 minutes from the small town, not too quiet not too busy....goldilocks. One of a couple of places in the world we've been to that we'd return to"

"Was only there one night but the views and the service were exceptional. Highly recommend!"
